Randomized Controlled Trial
Long-axis in-plane combined with short-axis out-of-plane technique in ultrasound-guided arterial catheterization in infants: A randomized controlled trial.
To determine whether the long-axis in-plane (LAX-IP) combined with short-axis out-of-plane (SAX-OOP) technique is more suitable than modified dynamic needle tip positioning (MDNTP) technique for ultrasound-guided radial artery catheterization in infants. ⋯ The ultrasound-guided LAX-IP combined with SAX-OOP technique for radial arterial catheterization in infants, which was performed by anesthesia residents, exhibited an increased first-time success rate, reduced cannulation time, and lower incidence of complications than the MDNTP technique.

Anaesthesia is required in 0.4-1% of pregnant women, and prolonged and repeated exposures to anaesthesia may be required. It is unknown whether these exposures may result in foetal neurotoxicity in humans. As sheep have a gestation comparable to that of humans, the objective of this study was to analyse the neurodevelopmental outcome of ovine foetuses that had been exposed in utero to repeated and prolonged anaesthesia. ⋯ There is no evidence for foetal neuronal injury or neurobehavioural impairments after a cumulative duration of 5 h repetitive prenatal anaesthesia in sheep.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Nalbuphine reduces the incidence of emergence agitation in children undergoing Adenotonsillectomy: A prospective, randomized, double-blind, multicenter study.
To evaluate the effect of nalbuphine on emergence agitation (EA) in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy. ⋯ Nalbuphine reduced the incidence of EA in children after adenotonsillectomy under general anesthesia, which may be involved in both analgesic and non-analgesic pathways.
